NUIT · Thematic path
Where do we learn to love?
Recognising a love story in a film can be quick. Saying what we expect from our own relationship may take longer. An essay, documentary voices and Mona Chollet offer three beginnings.
Follow the works in whichever order you prefer.
01 · À propos d’amour
Clarify what loving means
bell hooks treats love as a practice to build. Divergences places the argument within feminism and an examination of patriarchal norms. Start by considering what you mean by the word before looking for a story that resembles your own.

Move to stories
The documentary format opens the conversation to romance, friendship and family. Choose an episode subject that interests you. Its connection to bell hooks is the theme of bonds; that does not mean the podcast repeats her ideas.

Examine models of the couple
Mona Chollet narrows the focus to patriarchal norms in heterosexual relationships. Which idea of a successful relationship have you kept without discussing it? Keep the book’s scope in mind if you seek accounts of other relationships.

You can keep this to yourself or discuss it. NUIT does not collect an answer here.
